At 65 years old I was a chain smoking alcoholic and obese at 350 pounds. On my 65th birthday I quit smoking. Then a year later I quit drinking alcohol and started on the Keto diet. 30 months from my 65th birthday I was a non smoking, non drinking svelt 190 pound guy. 6 years later I’m 71 years old and still no smoking, no drinking and under 200 lbs.👍
I’ve been 348 pounds for about a year now. Used to be able to eat 5 jack in the box entrees just for dinner alone plus whatever I would have for lunch and breakfast and snacking constantly. Back in April starting on the 12th I started making changes to my diet including spiralized vegetables in place of pasta and cauliflower rice in place of regular rice in addition to cutting out most bread and lactose and cutting down a lot on sugar plus I drink acv every day. Today I weighed in at 301 pounds. My goal was to get below 300 by September 20th(beginning of fall). Thanks to these simple changes and now only eating 1-2 meals a day, I am less hungry, have created a caloric deficit, exercise daily, and I will be shattering my goal by almost a month. After I get below 300, my new goal will be 275 by the end of the year.
Keep it up. Exercise especially. I used to be that weight, used to be around 350. Im around 235 right now. Took a couple years. I started losing weight at the start.of the pandemic.
That’s awesome! It’s crazy how much changing simple things make a big impact. Hope your journey takes you where you want to go. I reached 297 about a week ago. Now the road to 270 before the end of the year begins. Past couple weeks, starting to notice muscle building in my arms. Gonna keep on the grind. Respect to you!
Hey man, great progress! we're here for you. don't forget that progress isn't linear, you'll have highs and lows but as long as you make it past that then you'll reach your goal. I believe in you
@@mahimer-bb5kg thank you, friend. It’s good to see people across platforms supporting and building each other up. Down to only 295 due to plateauing a bit but still building muscle and eating healthy. Peaks and valleys will happen as you said but just staying consistent is key
I struggled with weight growing up, I drank a lot of soda, I weighed 215 in 8th grade, was 6 foot 2+ but, when I got to be an adult I got in great shape. Last year in December I went to the doctor, I weighed 300 pounds. I couldn't believe it, the most shocking part was that the doctor was obese himself and didn't even mention it. I knew then I had to do something. But I continued to do the same things I had been doing. I was speaking to a coworker one day and said, yeah, I eat horrible food every day and it makes me feel like sh!t, it made me open my eyes seriously. I took a long look in the mirror, lost 100 pounds and feel like I'm in my twenties again. I have a toddler, and want to set the best example I can. Another thing that helped was coaching my son's tee-ball team. Those kids 3-4 year olds, didn't care about baseball, didn't even know what it was, but every day we played or practiced, they tried their hardest. I said why don't I do that? Anyway, as you can probably imagine, my life has improved, my relationship with my significant other has improved, I'm a better parent, worker, and person. Diet really matters.
I am 42. I was fit and now I am overweight. I start the gym next week and I am not living my life as a fat person anymore. I got alot of respect and attention when fit. I hate that people look at me and treat me differently. I have a Mrs and kids and want to be a better example to my son's. So I am going to use that as my fuel and nail not only weight loss but feeling better in my mind. I have anxiety and have been worried about exercising while over weight, but it's a battle in my mind for my life and I need to win.
Hey man good for you I hope it goes awesome. Don't worry about exercising while overweight, I struggle with it mentally too but a fat person in a gym or walking is way more admirable than a fat person at the drive through 💪 we've got this
probably about 15 pounds water weight, 7 pounds muscle, and only 3 pounds actual fat. Just an fyi, the body prefers to burn muscle mass instead of fat when people go super low calorie diets.
For me losing weight was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I lost 70 pounds in 6 months ( from 230 to 160 ) . Good thing I’ve been able to maintain a healthy weight since then using a good diet/ good exercise routine . But it was so hard at the beginning , People say it’s easy to just “ put the fork down “ or to just “ stop eating this and that “ but in reality it’s no where close to being that easy especially when your diet is really bad and you eat a lot. Honestly the only reason why I was able to go on my diet in the first place and last throughout it was because I started to have stomach problems so I had to. If it wasn’t for the stomach problems I probably would have stayed the way I was .
Appreciate your honesty and sharing your experience. Congrats and it shows everything has a silver lining. Stomach problems = the weight loss you wanted. Hope your stomach issues are resolved
That’s good man. It’s crazy how people react differently to their appetites. For me personally I can ignore hunger easily. I can go a day easy with no food. I force myself to eat 3-4 times a day to keep up with my weightlifting gains. Sometimes I stray from my diet and end up losing 20 pounds lol, just because sometimes I’m too lazy to make food.
I lost 10 kgs at the start of the year. I was almost at 80 kgs and got back to 70 being vegan. At 80 I was like wow man time to do something about this. I could really notice it myself. I think fat people are just really irresponsible.
My doctor told me not to go low-carb and just count calories even though I was showing signs of insulin resistance. She also told me not to worry so much about building muscle or exercising because weight loss is 90% diet. I’m a 5’2 woman with PCOS and I was gaining weight eating 1200 calories a day, and going for a jog 3 times per week. I followed doctors orders despite this and ended up with nutrient deficiencies and ovarian cysts. My cortisol levels were also borderline too high. My doctor assumed I was lying about diet and exercise. I’m so glad I actually learned about endocrinology and nutrition in college enough that I could read into the latest research and eventually understand that my doctor’s advice was ridiculous. I needed to improve my sensitivity to insulin by taking inositols, building muscle, doing yoga, eating low carb, intermittent fasting, eating anti-inflammatory foods and managing stress. I can eat 1400-1600 calories per day and still be in a deficit now that my insulin resistance, vitamin deficiencies and inflammation are addressed. Work smarter before you work harder! And don’t assume your doctor is up-to-date on the latest research!
@@Sunflower-ug3eh while excess fat is never good, it’s also not good to be overly skinny. It’s good to have a little meat on your bones. Congrats on losing weight! But my opinion is my opinion, keep doing what benefits you and helps you feel better. 🤙🏼
People will misinterpret this as "it's not your fault that you're fat". That is not what he's saying, you still need to play an active role in your weight loss.
It's funny how staying active and eating healthy your whole life will keep you from getting fat. My dad is fat as fuck and my mom isn't exactly in shape but I turned out just fine. Genetics are just a tiny part of it, your actions are the real determining factor.
Yeah just means you have more work to do. The amount of calories someone needs to sustain their body mass can vary up to 30% by person. That's huge. I'm average size and my body runs on about 1600 kcal. Gotta go to around 1400 to start loosing weight. Meanwhile by every account I should be having a 400 calorie deficit at 1600 but nope. Just gotta work extra hard. And building muscle mass helps burn more at rest.
The thing that broke me and made me want to change was at the age of 12 I said if I ever go over 200lbs I would not eat and starve myself to go back down. At 13 I hit 207. I was so close to losing it and just not eating anything for the rest of my life but I tried to give weightloss one last shot, its been 3 months since I turned 13 and I am now down to 189lbs by intermittent fasting and some exercise, I still have a long way till im down to my goal but im glad im here. Although sometimes it feels as if nothing changed, cause nobody except my family knows and kids at school still make fun of me and even outside of school ive been told to kill myself because of the way I look, so it almost doesnt feel real and it feels like im the same as i was before, anyway the reason im writing this post is to say that if anybody else is going through a similar situation of mine then please know that you can do it, no matter what others tell you.
Keep it up man. You’ll be a happier person on all levels. Trust me. I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve been plump/fat half of my life. I lost weight a couple of times but always striggled with yo-yo. The hardest thing is consistency and keeping the weight down. Do it while your young. The older you are, the harder it will be because of stress and other stuff.
Thank you for talking about this subject. I had a beautiful woman friend that could not stop eating so she had surgery. Now she is normal size but still wants to eat but literally doesn't have the stomach for it. What she eats now doesn't look to be enough to support a healthy body. Still I remember her eating an entire pie all by herself on Thanksgiving after every one of us had finished eating the meal and completely stuffed but my lovely friend could eat more. THAT BROKE MY HEART!!!
she will gain it all back watch. Coworker did the same thing..after about a yr it came back. "Surgery didnt work" came from her mouth, somehow the Dr fault. Naw....ate too dam much lol
That dude was lying about fat people eating like average bodied people. All the fatties I know take huge portions and eat junk. They don't drink water either. I only eat when I'm hungry and I'm mindful of my gut size. Normal people take responsibility for their body and don't make excuses.
130 lbs down since June of 2018.. This podcast was a *MASSIVE* turning point. EDIT: As of February of 2021, I am now down a total of 150 lbs. Thanks so much for all of the encouragement!
Circassian Dude I lost 130lbs in a very unhealthy way and gained it all back, now I have lost 100 lbs eating fruit veggies nuts and lean meat a tip I could give you is you have to pick a lifestyle you can stick with for the rest of your life hope this help
I'm down 28lbs, stopped eating fast food, smoking and sodas. Got off my fatass and started walking and working out. I'm getting stronger and losing weight every day. Thanks Goggins.
What they say in the first 2 minutes is SO TRUE! A guy I went to college with lost like 50 pounds because instead of consuming 2500 calories in one meal once a day, he started consuming those 2500 calories in smaller meals over the course of the day. Gave him more energy during the day so he started doing more physical things like going on walks more. It’s so true that sometimes, overweight people are not eating an insane amount compared to others. Just eating incorrectly.
For me and many many thousands of others, eating once a day or eating in a small window of time has had the same effect. It is not wrong, and I am not saying eating many times a day is wrong. Although eating many times a day spikes your insulin many times a day which makes it harder to lose weight for many many people. I broke my back and gained tons of weight because of the inactivity. Went to intermittent fasting and cut way back on carbs and lost over 40 pounds while recovering and with zero exercise. Lost even more now that I can move. So there are many ways to lose weight and the intermittent fasting is just one large very proven method that works. It is just as important what you eat as to when you eat. 2,000 calories of high carbs can slam the weight on you much faster than 2,000 calories of healthy fats and low carbs. Calories are not all alike.
My youngest son was 260 pounds, he decided that he didn’t want to be that weight anymore and started doing what he needed to to loose weight. It took him some time, but he went from 260 to 170 and he did it himself. I’m so proud of him.
You might want to insert his height for reference. That could help. I weigh 260. I'm 6 ft 3. I'm proportionate. Might want to put the height in their stupid
The main takeaway; High Stress = Fat. This is incredibly accurate. I’ve been exercising properly and intensely for many years, eat very clean, all my vitals are ideal for my age and my doctor even said I have “above average cardio levels for my age” (24y/o man). However, I have severe stress which makes me looks chubby, especially around my midsection and face. But I’ll notice when my stress levels go down, I lean up quite significantly. When they go up, I puff back up.
People dont realize is If what you say is really impossible, you would be litterly a super human, Back in time where you have fat to cover days were you dont have any food and your Body goes to your fat, now Imagine you eat less and your Body dosent Go to your reserve, thats Not how the human Body works izs Impossible
It does not eatingto much does I used to have tha6 problem lost 150 pounds by simply eating less and exercising Mai tailed it despite eating the same way I did as an obese guy justless of it
@user-ij9vy3oy1y nice to see someone here other then me tha6 gets this and isn't a total fucking moron thank you sir for your level of common sense this guy in the video Isa fucking moron more poepleneed to realize it other than me and you
If you’re watching this video and believe you can’t lose weight, I promise you, it is possible. I was 240 lbs back in April/May 2023, and in November 2023 I’m about 205. I started walking 3 miles per day before work, and started doing a small exercise while making dinner, whether it’s 100 push ups, 100 body weight squats, something like that. Find small gaps throughout your day that give you an opportunity to do something active, it’ll do wonders.
I am 300 pounds so I started fasting and every time I want something to eat I just ask myself do I love eating or do I want to see my 3 year old grandson grow up. One month down 22 pounds.
Michael Noland thanks . After smoking for over 20 years my stepdaughter was getting severe nosebleeds so the doctor told her it was because someone in the house smoked. Of Course I said bull to that so I made her a deal I would quit smoking until she got another nosebleed 25 years latter I still don’t smoke. Sometimes you just need the right motivation in life.
This 6 minute video took me 45 minutes because i had to pause every 5 seconds to google these terms this man was using. absolutely love it and learned so much. Thank you
I'm post menopausal, 5'4" and 115 lbs. The key for me is intermittent fasting. I still consume sugar in small bits, but it's mostly protein, veg, and fats.
I love the fact Joe listens to his guests. Never interrupting, never has to be the center of attention. That's one of the reasons he has millions of listeners.
I watched this 6 months ago when I was almost 300 lbs. I’m now 245 and still going 💪 **edit** wow you are all my motivation! Thank you for making this such a positive thread!! The quarantine definitely threw me off track a bit... I used some that nice stimulus $$$ to get a new bike!!! The grind never stops keep going strong!! Update I’m 240 and back on it!
M L intermittent fasting! I try to eat smaller meals between 12 PM and 8 PM. Started to introduce more veggies in my diet. I cut out the sugars and sodas my first month and dropped 10 lbs. the hardest part getting started was training my stomach to stop being so reliant on carbs and sugars. Once I got past that it became a lot easier!
Some of us aren’t eating like crazy. After my hysterectomy, my thyroid stopped working correctly. There wasn’t a diagnostic test until I developed a goiter. During that time I gained 65 pounds. I have never had energy again like I used to. I gain weight every time my THC test is out of normal limits. It is awful to be a normal healthy weight to being fat. It is terrible on my self-esteem. There is no help if you don’t have diabetes or high blood pressure.
I just got into middle age, I'm 38 going on 39, and I am just realizing how hard it is to control weight gain and losing weight is a massively hard thing to do now.
Well...its going but every year is a cycle, winter almost 90kg and by august im 80kg...3 years in a row now :D (Im 18 yo, 185cm - not really trying to loose weight but gain muscle, doing something wrong obviously)
I was obese an lost all my weight it took about two years almost but I still lost it people friends family dont even recognize me anymore lol still till this day I'm proud of it. Hard work dedication
For me the hard part is getting myself to go out and also dealing with depression. Last time I lost 150 pounds I had to hit my rock bottom I couldn't live with how I felt about myself so I did something about it at walked every day for 3 years and lost the 150 pounds.
I have always been a healthy weight of 125 pounds. However, over the past couple of years, I gained 35 pounds, despite moderate exercise 5 days a week. I couldn’t lose the weight but maintaining. I made a decision to change my diet to healthy proteins, low carb foods, no alcohol or processed foods. I lost the 35 pounds within 9 months. Super proud of myself and feel amazing. Good health to all!
johnny j losing weigh is easy .... 1. Remove fast food. 2. Cut down sugar. 3. Add apple cider vinegar to water ( 15 ml ) daily .avoid if ulcer. Add lots of veggie and less white flour .
@@mirabella2154 sounds like you don't know how to get out of the rabbit hole. Depression like alcoholism is a disease that can be overcome, it doesn't happen overnight, but it's possible.
Food addiction is also a real problem. Like, my friends dont understand that if I start eating potato chips or pizza, it's incredibly hard for me to stop. Thats why I'd rather just ignore what people are eating and try to eat my own healthier foods.
Yup, there are tons of meals that I can eat at a very specific portion, weighed out, and be very satisfied. But if a pizza is in my house, I basically can't stop eating it until it's gone. It's better to not have it around.
thats because of the shit they put in chips and food. They put additives that make you want more and crave more. Thats why its best to eat fresh, non processed foods
@@LoGiCcLaN2 I knew there had to be something in those foods other than they just taste better because some really don't, but I still find myself not being able to stop eating them. Thank you so much for sharing this!! Knowing this will change my life for sure. That is very empowering to know!!
@@NJLev refined carbs* eating your junk carbs like chips and bread will definitely make you want more but if you get your carbs from, lets say rice, youll be fine and should be full
I set a goal of losing ideally 40 lbs but realistically 20 lbs at the beginning of summer and now at the end I'm down 36, from 364 to 328. I'm hoping for 315 by the end of the year. Most people lose weight easier in warmer weather but I'm the opposite as I struggle with sweet drinks to help with the heat, and replace it with unsweetened tea in cold weather. So I'm hopeful! My end goal is to be 220 in 4-5 years. I have a broad frame and I am some what taller so a somewhat muscular 220 would be a good weight for me, not looking to be in model shape, I'm in my mid thirties and have been hit by to many injuries and illnesses to delude myself with that being realistic for me. A stocky build is doable and vastly better than I am now. Replacing pasta with unprocessed grains and potatoes, way upping my fat intake, focusing on protein and reducing carbs to a realistic degree.
I never understood the struggle of losing weight. If dieting doesn’t work then you can always just stop eating. When you have 0 calories coming in, your body will be forced to use your fat. Thats a fact, and it works for 100% of people.
I was 330 at my highest, and all I can say to people who are overweight and who want to be a normal weight, it will likely be the toughest AND most rewarding thing you've ever done.
Just dont eat at night and stop eating rice spaghetti and bread... this is what works for me, when i want to cut i just dont have dinner, not easy but possible... harder if you dont have a job or something to do trough the day
I was 6"3 and 320. In January stopped eating shit, not eating after super, no carbs, limited sugars, and moderate to heavy weights 3-4 times a week, light cardio. Im down 70 pounds.
It really is the most rewarding thing you can ever do. I have lost 102 pounds since the start of my weight loss journey 9 months ago. I was 298 pounds. If you put in the work and stay consistent with it and just overall are living a healthier lifestyle, then you will see results. It all just takes time. Don't give up!
I have massive respect for joe rogan and enjoy his podcasts and joe is very knowledgeable but his facts on obesity could not be misguided. Really glad he had this very knowledgeable guest on .my brother in law was 388.00 pounds and lots of work redirecting his food intake and eating the right foods he is down to 237.00 lbs and no longer dealing with type 2 diabetes.
I am 5' 11" tall I was 320 lbs for many years. I went from 320 lbs to 185 lbs in less than a year (no carbs, not sugar no snacking after diner). Then I went to the gym and built 25 lbs of muscle. I am so happy for the huge prize I won. The prize of health, fitness and good looks. I feel amazing and can run, climb, go on roller-coasters, ride bikes, hike, buy nice clothes. I won a major prize by loosing weight and I owe it all to myself which feels amazing. I never looked back. That was in 2013 and I am still in shape today.
I eat all the carbs i want..ur brain needs it so does ur muscles...i get it when ur obese..but dont start with the carb thing when ur a bodybuilder etc
@@bradleyzum Umm the average person....(beginner) can build 25 lbs of muscle in around a year...beginners do it all the time....It plateues after that.....Schwarzenegger had quite a bit more than 25 lbs of muscle mass than he would have as a beginner....I dont know why you think this is unattainable..It is quite common in a bodybuilders early lifting advancement.....
Found this out about 10 yrs ago. Cortisol primarily has quite a bit of a dominant role as we age, coupled with eating foods with past 2-3 day shelf life even tefrigerated. I looked back at photos of my grandparents. They ate at home. A protein, veggies, and a starch with a full glass of water AND a cup of wine every night. Took walks after dinner. Dressed well. Hair neat. Always in shape. Not all habits were “good” but the majority were….
In august 2022, I weighted 210 pounds (105 kg). 15 days of vacations, with vegetarian friends, having a good daily routine, doing heavy work at the local market, walking a lot every day, and when back home, eating at best 700 calories/day and walking at least two miles, twice a day, I came down to 83kg (170 pounds) in 33 weeks, loosing around 1 pound every week. From people who took a diet, and fat people, they see my method as "quiet violent" over my own body, but to be honest, I enjoyed it.
I was 319 lbs and decided it was time to lose weight. First I changed my diet. Less carbs and sugars and no processed foods. Then I started counting calories. I didn’t lose weight unless I ate less than a thousand calories a day. I imagine it’s different for everyone. It took me two and a half years and I lost 165 lbs. that was 8 years ago. I’m still skinny and I work out now and am in good shape.
I weighed 500 pounds at my heaviest, i'm down to 280 now. Still pretty far off from being healthy.. but i think its a decent improvement in my overall health. Biggest thing is occupying my mind, boredom is my single greatest enemy in weight loss.

My friend and business partner was 5’ 2” and 520 lbs - he didn’t always eat well, but he didn’t over eat, and he rode a bike everywhere - it had to be his genetics.
@@piraat070 That's just your mentality. If you have weak mental it's hard to quit things. I drank soda everyday, at least 4 sodas a day, I am 24 and been drinking them since i was a kid. I realized what it can do to me long run i.e my teeth, weight. Next day I just quit soda and haven't had 1 in 6 months. If you really want something you will do it, simple.
If he explained it so everyone would understand he wouldn’t have a business lol. All he said is people who are losing weight need to cut down on anything that makes them produce large quantities of insulin which promotes fat storage
I have a dear childhood friend who's always been big. Ever since we were little tots, he's always been bigger than everybody else. His parents fostered him to eat more than he should, so for him, eating too much is simply in his nature. He doesn't know any other way. Because of this, losing weight is incredibly, incredibly difficult. I really hope things change for him, but I'm not optimistic.
@@phantomfire7205 it depends on height and body composition as well. 180lbs at 6ft (185cm) is good on paper but if you're carrying a high amount of adipose/fat it would paint a different picture.
I was 67kgs before pregnancy, then I reached maybe 100kgs during pregnancy. Apart from the fact that I had fluid retention, I ate so much junk food (gained fat) to the point I couldn't breath. After I gave birth, I started counting kcals, and I losed 35kgs. Now I am in my second pregnancy, have cravings, but I don't do the same mistake. It depends on the body type I guess. I am mesomorph, have thick bones and I can easy make body muscles, but generally, when I eat more then usual (not without control) I can bulk very easy without even trying which as a woman I hate it because I don't like to get broader arms or calves.
Right?! He was truly learning, listening in deep and I feel he's still hurt about his friend's passing away. You can tell he was concerned tho. 💚 Love Joe. RIP to his dear friend 💙.
6 months ago I decided to change my lifestyle. I started monitoring what I was eating. Using the Lose It App to set Calorie Limits for myself. I drink much less Soda than I used to. Overall I eat much less than I used to. I don’t eat snack food between meals anymore. That, along with working out more often and longer. Made a big difference. I’ve lost over 30 pounds. My T-Shirts weren’t fitting me and were too small, and now they all fit again. Simply being self aware, and having portion control, I think can make the biggest difference.
Keep at it kid, you're at an age where you have a fast metabolism and with a healthy diet and some exercise, you'll lose the excessive fat in no time :)
I was obese at 270 pounds at my peak with sleep apnea, fatigued, tired, asthmatic, and borderline diabetic. In 2½ years I managed to lose over 100lbs. I'm now 46 years of age 5'11" at 164lbs size 32 waist and building ab muscles. I'm more active than ever. Did two triathlons last year, do a lot of hiking, kayaking, running, bicycling, weights. I don't get fatigued anymore. I'm sleeping better than ever; breathing better than ever, eating better than ever; feel better than ever. It's amazing.
@@jasmines.6325 The first year of weight loss the only thing I did was cutting thr pasta, the bread and the rice completely out of my diet. I never liked sodas so that wasn't a problem. But I did occasionally ate sweets. I changed nothing else in that first year. I drop only 20 lbs. So that wasn't enough. So I completely changed my diet to more veggies and less meats. A LOT of veggies. That's when the change really kicked in. Then after I lost about 50 or 60 lbs then I started incorporating exercises. Now I have been at 162lbs and keeping it there.
Great explanation. I have spent long periods of time overseas and every time I leave the United States I seem to lose weight and every time I return to the United States I gain weight. I have identified several factors that have affected me personally. First, is the large amounts and low quality of foods that we consume here. We have to stop eating fast food and junk food or we are never going to get a hold of the obesity problem. Second is the sedentary lifestyles we have. Without a question we need to move our bodies more. Third is the relatively poor healthcare system we have. We have good facilities, good doctors, hospitals, medications, etc., but it is expensive and inaccessible to many, and fourth, the stress. We live in a very stressful country where they have sold us the idea that we should be working, working, working all the time and we get excited when we get two weeks vacation per year. We are stressed out, fatigued, and addicted to junk food.
In 1980, people probably didn’t sit around and watch TH-cam. This is especially true for children, who make up a large portion of that increased percentage. Kids played outside and learned to be active. They didn’t have to have their parents helicopter over them the whole time either. It was normal to see groups of kids riding bikes together or playing games. Now with the 24-hour new cycle, everyone is paranoid that the streets are infested with perverts and child predators. These days, if you let your kids walk to the park by themselves, you are a bad parent. Better to let them play video games inside where it’s “safe”.
in 2022, if you want start a real fight, just say people are fat because they eat too much calories…it way much more dangerous than politics or religion…lost some friends ( the worst are the mother of fat kid, they cannot accept that fact without going bananas, like you judge theirs kids) The business succedd to paint who say that physics thruths as judmental
I’m 6’7” - 260lbs (200cm - 18.5 stone) and considered obese by the BMI while everyone in my life says I’m too skinny. 🤷♂️ Maybe the definition is skewed ignoring the increasing height of people?
I still find it fascinating that a hormone can reek so much havoc. I just turned 32 and little over 3 months ago I was diagnosed as a late onset type 1 diabetic. I’ve always been in good shape, played sports since I was 5 and I workout constantly. I went from 230 to 160lbs in just a few months . I never been sick or went to the hospital other then for a couple broken bones. I thought whatever was going on would pass but it didn’t. I finally schedule a appointment went to the doctors and they ran test. Said they would call me in a couple days and get me back within a week or two. 2 days later on a Monday morning at 815 the doctors called and demanded I come In now. When I got there doctor looked at me and said “ you’re not well” for starters your body is going heywire my cholesterol was 1600 “normal is 150” I have a thyroid condition, I’m going into organ failure and I’m what they call a late onset type 1 diabetic. I had an A1c of 17+ and blood glucose of 600. My point of the story is don’t be like me and most men who thinks whatever is going on with u will pass and fight thru it. Listen to your body. I didn’t and it almost cost me my life.
@@chlatepdng yeah my endocrinologist told me I should’ve went to the ER months ago and not had waited as long as I did. She told me she been a Doctor for almost a decade and said I was purely running off borrowed time. Luckily I’ve done a 180 since December but still find it crazy that if this was 100 years ago I would’ve perished. Gotta give thanks to modern medicine
I remember working security with this guy who was about 430. He was dispatch and would drink a 2liter coke, eat lunch and snacks throughout the shift. He got a crush on a co-worker and she worked out with and coached him through it. Dude is now 180 and stuck in the friend zone but damn what a journey. He said for lunch he would go to White Castle and get a 10pc Moz sticks. 4 burgers,fries and drink. When he started counting calories he had no idea that one meal was almost his daily intake. The 10pc alone was over 1000 calories. I need to step up myself I'm close to 300 now. I should probably give him a call.
@Rhaegar Nope, she became a police officer so she's getting banged out by other officers and he is still her best friend. He's most likely going to sit idly by until she is ready to settle down.
That’s another thing people don’t understand. The amount of food that people actually consume in a caloric sense is so much higher than they think. When you go to McDonalds one burger is or above 1000 calories. Then you eat a second and fries and a coke. That shit adds up. Lastly when you eat healthier you feel better. I used to feel sluggish after I ate. I was constantly napping after meals. Not anymore. Also don’t eat past like 7:30 - 8 if you can.
Intermittent fasting, eating mainly protein and vegetables, and working out 2-4 times a week will get you in good shape. Also avoid sugar, fast food and processed foods.
I've been looking into intermittent fasting... wouldn't the healthy diet of protein/veg, no processed food work on its own? I don't understand the reasoning for doing it although I'm very interested.
@@caliv0608 It could work, but way faster with the hormonal effects of intermittent fasting. HGH and insulin sensitivity especially. I do wonder if eating frequently is fine as long as your lover never really fills up, which if I'm right means not much insulin would be needed. Basically don't eat a big handful of nuts late at night (healthy, but calories so your liver will never empty) and skip breakfast or have it late/early lunch, and you'll be rocking.
Never was a fan of intermittent fasting unless it fits your lifestyle and you like to do that. I could be wrong though. I think calorie deficit with 4-6 small meals a day could be more beneficial, and you'll probably feel better throughout the day. But if 1 big meal a day fits your life, then fasting is probably the best thing to do.
@@LucianoOGgt I just don't think it's natural to eat so many times every day. Do hunters/ people long ago eat 6 small meals? 2 or 3, and once a week 0 might be ideal. I think our bodies aren't set up for food so frequently and never go into autophagy without breaks. The benefits of autophagy are undeniable imo.
Dropped 25 lbs in a couple months through diet and exercise, BMI dropped 3.7 and I look shredded. Easy if you have a routine and hold yourself accountable
I love this. I have been reading about all of this for over two years now, and this dude just broke it down in 7 minutes. This information is PURE GOLD!
I like how joe just sits there and listens and doesn’t not interrupt him at any moment. He always gives his guests the opportunity to express their opinion no matter if he agrees with them or not.
He talked over a lot of guest, usually he gets distracted by others in the studio. Notice when he shuts up it’s because Bravonand others aren’t there. Get the wrong person in the room interviews like this never go well.
@Joshua Sipple You should watch his video where he talks about the art of conversations. And how we lost it. Even guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson suck at it.
THANK YOU for explaining this! I wish people knew what a struggle it really is and that its not always as simple as eat less. I have PCOS and Ive tried everything. Even doctors have no knowledge in this so it’s really hard to know who to turn to for help.
No one ever said it would be easy. I'm 48 years old and my metabolism crashed around age 42. But when you've got people losing weight on Twinkie diets and not doing any exercise it's kinda hard to argue that you need all the technical terminology that this guy discussed. Heck, there's a guy who lost weight doing nothing but drinking beer and popping multivitamins. Interestingly, some of his other "numbers" (cholesterol, blood pressure) also improved! . Too, we know there weren't any fat prisoners in Auschwitz. Going to have to explain that one .... and if you haven't tried that, then no, I'm sorry, you haven't tried "everything." You've tried some things. All diets are just tricks to get you to consume fewer calories. Every. Single. One. Keto, Paleo, Juice-diet, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Fasting, etc. It doesn't matter. If you boil every one of those down to their basic premise, it comes down to this: "Consume fewer calories." But if the trick doesn't work and you fall off the wagon, then of course you won't lose weight. Bottom line: Go on a 1,200 calorie per day diet for a month and then check your results.
@@sidwhiting665 you’re right, I should starve myself when I have three kids to take care of. Fun fact: i did that in the past and developed an eating disorder so, no its not sustainable or realistic to just “eat 1200 calories”. I want to be healthy and it has to be a lifestyle change I can sustain while taking care of my three children. They are all girls and i would never want them to see their mom with an eating disorder. Weight problems are complicated and chronic. Theres a psychological aspect to it you have to consider as well.
Stress effects so much. I didn’t change my diet just my job and lost 40 pounds in a month over covid. I had a high stress job where I was in constant fear mode. I didn’t change my eating and dropped weight so fast it was crazy.
I’m 6’4 and at 305 right now and trying to accomplish the same goal Just started my first week of hard intermittent fasting and keto diet with 8 hour food window , and doing a lot of H I I T workout 3 days weekly and lots of yoga and calisthenics and so far I haven’t felt more sore or more better in a long time Sedimentary lifestyle, inconsistent diet and exercise schedule, letting stress control job All caused me to balloon Fasting and exercise immediately can re train your mind and rekindle your spirit quickly if you can get over that first 20 to 24 hour hump of the first fast
When the pandemic hit, I was three years into a stable job and had gained 25 pounds since I started. Lost all my abs and got a big gut. Since then, the only thing I've stopped eating was fast food. Started working out more, already lost all the weight. You can do anything you put your mind too.
@Paul Smith Maybe when you're young and your metabolism is still quick. I remember being in high school and saying the same stuff you just did. Once your metabolism changes that fast food won't come out the same as it did before. And if you still got that quick metabolism, good on ya but I'm 100% sure all that fatty grease is still coating the inside of your arteries.
I used to be the high school student that would eat anything, i weighed around 145pounds, now i weigh 160, it’s not much but i fan clearly see it went to my guts so i completely understand your point. Luckily i took action early on because it makes things much easier
Let's not forget the huge psychological factor here. When people have overwhelming emotional pain, one thing that some people turn to is overeating to numb the psychic pain. The food tastes good and gives the person a pleasurable high because it gets the dopamine surging in their brains, and this dopamine release is of a similar intensity to the effects of cocaine use on the brain. In this way, certain people become addicted to food and no meal is ever enough to satiate their powerful and incessant cravings. Obesity is a consequence of this chronic emotional overeating of unhealthy food.
I knew one personal trainer who had one non-negotiable rule. He was asking his clients if they were willing to change their eating habits by eating cleaner and healthier and in the beginning, even go with stricter diet. If they weren’t willing to change their diet, he wasn’t accepting those customers, even if they wanted to pay a lot of money. He knew how important of a role the food played in achieving results.
That's actually a good business move on his part as well. Those clients that were willing to change their diet on average lost so much more weight compared to their counter parts that weren't willing. That made him look like a more competent trainer & made him more attractive to new clients. The long game at it's finest.

@G41251 Congratulations man, that's huge. Glad your still here, good to know you have finally found peace in life.
Incredible
I’ve been 348 pounds for about a year now. Used to be able to eat 5 jack in the box entrees just for dinner alone plus whatever I would have for lunch and breakfast and snacking constantly. Back in April starting on the 12th I started making changes to my diet including spiralized vegetables in place of pasta and cauliflower rice in place of regular rice in addition to cutting out most bread and lactose and cutting down a lot on sugar plus I drink acv every day. Today I weighed in at 301 pounds. My goal was to get below 300 by September 20th(beginning of fall). Thanks to these simple changes and now only eating 1-2 meals a day, I am less hungry, have created a caloric deficit, exercise daily, and I will be shattering my goal by almost a month. After I get below 300, my new goal will be 275 by the end of the year.
Keep it up. Exercise especially. I used to be that weight, used to be around 350. Im around 235 right now. Took a couple years. I started losing weight at the start.of the pandemic.
That’s awesome! It’s crazy how much changing simple things make a big impact. Hope your journey takes you where you want to go. I reached 297 about a week ago. Now the road to 270 before the end of the year begins. Past couple weeks, starting to notice muscle building in my arms. Gonna keep on the grind. Respect to you!
Update: Achieved 299 pounds on August 30th. New end of year goal is 265 pounds
Hey man, great progress! we're here for you. don't forget that progress isn't linear, you'll have highs and lows but as long as you make it past that then you'll reach your goal. I believe in you
@@mahimer-bb5kg thank you, friend. It’s good to see people across platforms supporting and building each other up. Down to only 295 due to plateauing a bit but still building muscle and eating healthy. Peaks and valleys will happen as you said but just staying consistent is key

I struggled with weight growing up, I drank a lot of soda, I weighed 215 in 8th grade, was 6 foot 2+ but, when I got to be an adult I got in great shape. Last year in December I went to the doctor, I weighed 300 pounds. I couldn't believe it, the most shocking part was that the doctor was obese himself and didn't even mention it. I knew then I had to do something. But I continued to do the same things I had been doing. I was speaking to a coworker one day and said, yeah, I eat horrible food every day and it makes me feel like sh!t, it made me open my eyes seriously. I took a long look in the mirror, lost 100 pounds and feel like I'm in my twenties again. I have a toddler, and want to set the best example I can. Another thing that helped was coaching my son's tee-ball team. Those kids 3-4 year olds, didn't care about baseball, didn't even know what it was, but every day we played or practiced, they tried their hardest. I said why don't I do that? Anyway, as you can probably imagine, my life has improved, my relationship with my significant other has improved, I'm a better parent, worker, and person. Diet really matters.
Good on you for taking the responsibility and being there for your kids. Hope you're still doing ok.
I am 42. I was fit and now I am overweight. I start the gym next week and I am not living my life as a fat person anymore. I got alot of respect and attention when fit. I hate that people look at me and treat me differently. I have a Mrs and kids and want to be a better example to my son's. So I am going to use that as my fuel and nail not only weight loss but feeling better in my mind. I have anxiety and have been worried about exercising while over weight, but it's a battle in my mind for my life and I need to win.
Hope your journey goes well, you got this🤘
@@vincentrock5601 Thanks alot.
Hey man good for you I hope it goes awesome. Don't worry about exercising while overweight, I struggle with it mentally too but a fat person in a gym or walking is way more admirable than a fat person at the drive through 💪 we've got this

Start walking and work your way up slowly. Try to have a balanced diet at least 80% of the time, it may take longer but the weight will fall off.

For me losing weight was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I lost 70 pounds in 6 months ( from 230 to 160 ) . Good thing I’ve been able to maintain a healthy weight since then using a good diet/ good exercise routine . But it was so hard at the beginning , People say it’s easy to just “ put the fork down “ or to just “ stop eating this and that “ but in reality it’s no where close to being that easy especially when your diet is really bad and you eat a lot. Honestly the only reason why I was able to go on my diet in the first place and last throughout it was because I started to have stomach problems so I had to. If it wasn’t for the stomach problems I probably would have stayed the way I was .
Appreciate your honesty and sharing your experience. Congrats and it shows everything has a silver lining. Stomach problems = the weight loss you wanted. Hope your stomach issues are resolved
@@micksuff8422 thanks, and as for the stomach issues they gotten better so far but I’m still working on it
That’s good man. It’s crazy how people react differently to their appetites. For me personally I can ignore hunger easily. I can go a day easy with no food. I force myself to eat 3-4 times a day to keep up with my weightlifting gains. Sometimes I stray from my diet and end up losing 20 pounds lol, just because sometimes I’m too lazy to make food.
@@amazinglats6020 refined foods create “chemical cravings” it’s like you’re going through withdrawals for food
I lost 10 kgs at the start of the year. I was almost at 80 kgs and got back to 70 being vegan. At 80 I was like wow man time to do something about this. I could really notice it myself. I think fat people are just really irresponsible.
My doctor told me not to go low-carb and just count calories even though I was showing signs of insulin resistance. She also told me not to worry so much about building muscle or exercising because weight loss is 90% diet. I’m a 5’2 woman with PCOS and I was gaining weight eating 1200 calories a day, and going for a jog 3 times per week. I followed doctors orders despite this and ended up with nutrient deficiencies and ovarian cysts. My cortisol levels were also borderline too high. My doctor assumed I was lying about diet and exercise.
I’m so glad I actually learned about endocrinology and nutrition in college enough that I could read into the latest research and eventually understand that my doctor’s advice was ridiculous.
I needed to improve my sensitivity to insulin by taking inositols, building muscle, doing yoga, eating low carb, intermittent fasting, eating anti-inflammatory foods and managing stress. I can eat 1400-1600 calories per day and still be in a deficit now that my insulin resistance, vitamin deficiencies and inflammation are addressed.
Work smarter before you work harder! And don’t assume your doctor is up-to-date on the latest research!

People will misinterpret this as "it's not your fault that you're fat". That is not what he's saying, you still need to play an active role in your weight loss.
That's the reality of black and white thinking.
I bet you are thin and never struggled with weight.
It's funny how staying active and eating healthy your whole life will keep you from getting fat. My dad is fat as fuck and my mom isn't exactly in shape but I turned out just fine. Genetics are just a tiny part of it, your actions are the real determining factor.
Yeah just means you have more work to do. The amount of calories someone needs to sustain their body mass can vary up to 30% by person. That's huge. I'm average size and my body runs on about 1600 kcal. Gotta go to around 1400 to start loosing weight. Meanwhile by every account I should be having a 400 calorie deficit at 1600 but nope. Just gotta work extra hard. And building muscle mass helps burn more at rest.
@@octagonocologist that's not how genetics work. Good for you on being fit with fat parents but take a look at epigenetics. Its a fascinating subject.
The thing that broke me and made me want to change was at the age of 12 I said if I ever go over 200lbs I would not eat and starve myself to go back down. At 13 I hit 207. I was so close to losing it and just not eating anything for the rest of my life but I tried to give weightloss one last shot, its been 3 months since I turned 13 and I am now down to 189lbs by intermittent fasting and some exercise, I still have a long way till im down to my goal but im glad im here. Although sometimes it feels as if nothing changed, cause nobody except my family knows and kids at school still make fun of me and even outside of school ive been told to kill myself because of the way I look, so it almost doesnt feel real and it feels like im the same as i was before, anyway the reason im writing this post is to say that if anybody else is going through a similar situation of mine then please know that you can do it, no matter what others tell you.
Aye man keep up that hard work people around you are proud and inspired. Makes me want to get In the gym right now
proud of you! keep going! If you stay constistant, you will only improve EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Keep it up man. You’ll be a happier person on all levels. Trust me. I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve been plump/fat half of my life. I lost weight a couple of times but always striggled with yo-yo. The hardest thing is consistency and keeping the weight down. Do it while your young. The older you are, the harder it will be because of stress and other stuff.

Thank you for talking about this subject. I had a beautiful woman friend that could not stop eating so she had surgery. Now she is normal size but still wants to eat but literally doesn't have the stomach for it. What she eats now doesn't look to be enough to support a healthy body.

What they say in the first 2 minutes is SO TRUE! A guy I went to college with lost like 50 pounds because instead of consuming 2500 calories in one meal once a day, he started consuming those 2500 calories in smaller meals over the course of the day. Gave him more energy during the day so he started doing more physical things like going on walks more. It’s so true that sometimes, overweight people are not eating an insane amount compared to others. Just eating incorrectly.
For me and many many thousands of others, eating once a day or eating in a small window of time has had the same effect. It is not wrong, and I am not saying eating many times a day is wrong. Although eating many times a day spikes your insulin many times a day which makes it harder to lose weight for many many people. I broke my back and gained tons of weight because of the inactivity. Went to intermittent fasting and cut way back on carbs and lost over 40 pounds while recovering and with zero exercise. Lost even more now that I can move. So there are many ways to lose weight and the intermittent fasting is just one large very proven method that works. It is just as important what you eat as to when you eat. 2,000 calories of high carbs can slam the weight on you much faster than 2,000 calories of healthy fats and low carbs. Calories are not all alike.
My youngest son was 260 pounds, he decided that he didn’t want to be that weight anymore and started doing what he needed to to loose weight. It took him some time, but he went from 260 to 170 and he did it himself. I’m so proud of him.

The main takeaway; High Stress = Fat.
This is incredibly accurate. I’ve been exercising properly and intensely for many years, eat very clean, all my vitals are ideal for my age and my doctor even said I have “above average cardio levels for my age” (24y/o man).
However, I have severe stress which makes me looks chubby, especially around my midsection and face. But I’ll notice when my stress levels go down, I lean up quite significantly. When they go up, I puff back up.

Find small gaps throughout your day that give you an opportunity to do something active, it’ll do wonders.

I love the fact Joe listens to his guests. Never interrupting, never has to be the center of attention. That's one of the reasons he has millions of listeners.
I agree, I try to listen and not dominate the convo
He probably just got lost and started drifting off.
Agreed. He's gotten really good at knowing when to be silent and listen. In his podcast with Pavel (the kettlebell guy), Joe rarely spoke.
He has millions of listeners because there are millions of wannabe UFC fighters and stoner bros...also the occasional good guest....
Impaulsive on the other hand ....
I watched this 6 months ago when I was almost 300 lbs. I’m now 245 and still going 💪
**edit** wow you are all my motivation! Thank you for making this such a positive thread!! The quarantine definitely threw me off track a bit... I used some that nice stimulus $$$ to get a new bike!!! The grind never stops keep going strong!! Update I’m 240 and back on it!
Jose de jesus Arandano appreciate it bro!
What did u do?
M L intermittent fasting! I try to eat smaller meals between 12 PM and 8 PM. Started to introduce more veggies in my diet. I cut out the sugars and sodas my first month and dropped 10 lbs. the hardest part getting started was training my stomach to stop being so reliant on carbs and sugars. Once I got past that it became a lot easier!
Congrats bro. Keep it going!
Kvic901 keep going hard brotha! 👏🏾
Some of us aren’t eating like crazy. After my hysterectomy, my thyroid stopped working correctly. There wasn’t a diagnostic test until I developed a goiter. During that time I gained 65 pounds. I have never had energy again like I used to. I gain weight every time my THC test is out of normal limits. It is awful to be a normal healthy weight to being fat. It is terrible on my self-esteem. There is no help if you don’t have diabetes or high blood pressure.
I just got into middle age, I'm 38 going on 39, and I am just realizing how hard it is to control weight gain and losing weight is a massively hard thing to do now.
calories in/calories out. Calculate what you are eating a day and eat less, it doesnt get harder with age
I hope anyone trying to lose weight has good luck with it.
Well...its going but every year is a cycle, winter almost 90kg and by august im 80kg...3 years in a row now :D (Im 18 yo, 185cm - not really trying to loose weight but gain muscle, doing something wrong obviously)

Well done!
For me the hard part is getting myself to go out and also dealing with depression. Last time I lost 150 pounds I had to hit my rock bottom I couldn't live with how I felt about myself so I did something about it at walked every day for 3 years and lost the 150 pounds.
I have always been a healthy weight of 125 pounds. However, over the past couple of years, I gained 35 pounds, despite moderate exercise 5 days a week. I couldn’t lose the weight but maintaining. I made a decision to change my diet to healthy proteins, low carb foods, no alcohol or processed foods. I lost the 35 pounds within 9 months. Super proud of myself and feel amazing. Good health to all!
125 pounds is not healthy dude. That's borderline anorexic

Being obese is like being depressed. You know what to do to beat it but it's incredibly hard to get the momentum going
But it's entirely on the person to need to do it, not want it like a cupcake - need it like water in a desert.

Stupidity at it's best. You can't change being depressed, dummy. Educate yourself on depression.
@@mirabella2154 sounds like you don't know how to get out of the rabbit hole. Depression like alcoholism is a disease that can be overcome, it doesn't happen overnight, but it's possible.
Food addiction is also a real problem. Like, my friends dont understand that if I start eating potato chips or pizza, it's incredibly hard for me to stop. Thats why I'd rather just ignore what people are eating and try to eat my own healthier foods.
Yup, there are tons of meals that I can eat at a very specific portion, weighed out, and be very satisfied. But if a pizza is in my house, I basically can't stop eating it until it's gone. It's better to not have it around.
thats because of the shit they put in chips and food. They put additives that make you want more and crave more. Thats why its best to eat fresh, non processed foods
@@LoGiCcLaN2 I knew there had to be something in those foods other than they just taste better because some really don't, but I still find myself not being able to stop eating them. Thank you so much for sharing this!! Knowing this will change my life for sure. That is very empowering to know!!
Carbs make you want more carbs.
@@NJLev refined carbs* eating your junk carbs like chips and bread will definitely make you want more but if you get your carbs from, lets say rice, youll be fine and should be full
I set a goal of losing ideally 40 lbs but realistically 20 lbs at the beginning of summer and now at the end I'm down 36, from 364 to 328. I'm hoping for 315 by the end of the year. Most people lose weight easier in warmer weather but I'm the opposite as I struggle with sweet drinks to help with the heat, and replace it with unsweetened tea in cold weather. So I'm hopeful! My end goal is to be 220 in 4-5 years. I have a broad frame and I am some what taller so a somewhat muscular 220 would be a good weight for me, not looking to be in model shape, I'm in my mid thirties and have been hit by to many injuries and illnesses to delude myself with that being realistic for me. A stocky build is doable and vastly better than I am now. Replacing pasta with unprocessed grains and potatoes, way upping my fat intake, focusing on protein and reducing carbs to a realistic degree.
Stay consistent and the results will show
I never understood the struggle of losing weight. If dieting doesn’t work then you can always just stop eating. When you have 0 calories coming in, your body will be forced to use your fat. Thats a fact, and it works for 100% of people.
People will be mad at you for spitting facts I was obese because I ate like a obese person simple as that
Go 0 calories for 2 months

I was 330 at my highest, and all I can say to people who are overweight and who want to be a normal weight, it will likely be the toughest AND most rewarding thing you've ever done.
Just dont eat at night and stop eating rice spaghetti and bread... this is what works for me, when i want to cut i just dont have dinner, not easy but possible... harder if you dont have a job or something to do trough the day

I am 5' 11" tall I was 320 lbs for many years. I went from 320 lbs to 185 lbs in less than a year (no carbs, not sugar no snacking after diner). Then I went to the gym and built 25 lbs of muscle. I am so happy for the huge prize I won. The prize of health, fitness and good looks. I feel amazing and can run, climb, go on roller-coasters, ride bikes, hike, buy nice clothes. I won a major prize by loosing weight and I owe it all to myself which feels amazing. I never looked back. That was in 2013 and I am still in shape today.

In august 2022, I weighted 210 pounds (105 kg). 15 days of vacations, with vegetarian friends, having a good daily routine, doing heavy work at the local market, walking a lot every day, and when back home, eating at best 700 calories/day and walking at least two miles, twice a day, I came down to 83kg (170 pounds) in 33 weeks, loosing around 1 pound every week. From people who took a diet, and fat people, they see my method as "quiet violent" over my own body, but to be honest, I enjoyed it.
Sounds a lot like my current situation. Also I am trying something similar so this was very reassuring.
I was 319 lbs and decided it was time to lose weight. First I changed my diet. Less carbs and sugars and no processed foods. Then I started counting calories. I didn’t lose weight unless I ate less than a thousand calories a day. I imagine it’s different for everyone. It took me two and a half years and I lost 165 lbs. that was 8 years ago. I’m still skinny and I work out now and am in good shape.
I weighed 500 pounds at my heaviest, i'm down to 280 now. Still pretty far off from being healthy.. but i think its a decent improvement in my overall health. Biggest thing is occupying my mind, boredom is my single greatest enemy in weight loss.
That's frikkin awesome man!
keep it up brother!
decent improvement? Bro thats amazing, keep it up!
Hell yeah, it's way more than a decent improvement in your overall health. Don't sell yourself short, man.

Yeah i am addicted to fastfood so for me Its difficult because of the addiction. And i just cant go cold Turkey
@@piraat070 That's just your mentality. If you have weak mental it's hard to quit things. I drank soda everyday, at least 4 sodas a day, I am 24 and been drinking them since i was a kid.

I have a dear childhood friend who's always been big. Ever since we were little tots, he's always been bigger than everybody else. His parents fostered him to eat more than he should, so for him, eating too much is simply in his nature. He doesn't know any other way. Because of this, losing weight is incredibly, incredibly difficult. I really hope things change for him, but I'm not optimistic.
Dropped 65lbs so far. If you’re seeing this you can do even better than me
Totally possible, think longterm, habit changing, small goals.
what did you change in your diet/life to lose weight? thanks
Hey I'm 13 stone or 180ibs would you say that is terrible?
@@phantomfire7205 it depends on height and body composition as well. 180lbs at 6ft (185cm) is good on paper but if you're carrying a high amount of adipose/fat it would paint a different picture.

You made my say bro
I was 67kgs before pregnancy, then I reached maybe 100kgs during pregnancy. Apart from the fact that I had fluid retention, I ate so much junk food (gained fat) to the point I couldn't breath. After I gave birth, I started counting kcals, and I losed 35kgs. Now I am in my second pregnancy, have cravings, but I don't do the same mistake.
It depends on the body type I guess. I am mesomorph, have thick bones and I can easy make body muscles, but generally, when I eat more then usual (not without control) I can bulk very easy without even trying which as a woman I hate it because I don't like to get broader arms or calves.

That's a good thing.
6 months ago I decided to change my lifestyle.
I started monitoring what I was eating. Using the Lose It App to set Calorie Limits for myself. I drink much less Soda than I used to. Overall I eat much less than I used to. I don’t eat snack food between meals anymore.
That, along with working out more often and longer. Made a big difference. I’ve lost over 30 pounds.
My T-Shirts weren’t fitting me and were too small, and now they all fit again.
Simply being self aware, and having portion control, I think can make the biggest difference.
Im 15 Im 5 feet 9 inches and at my most I’ve weighed 250 and in the past 4 months I’ve decided to turn my life around now I weigh 226

@@jasmines.6325 The first year of weight loss the only thing I did was cutting thr pasta, the bread and the rice completely out of my diet. I never liked sodas so that wasn't a problem. But I did occasionally ate sweets. I changed nothing else in that first year. I drop only 20 lbs. So that wasn't enough. So I completely changed my diet to more veggies and less meats. A LOT of veggies. That's when the change really kicked in. Then after I lost about 50 or 60 lbs then I started incorporating exercises. Now I have been at 162lbs and keeping it there.
@@tomasdiaz1974 I’m tryna lose body fat will running everyday help?
Great explanation. I have spent long periods of time overseas and every time I leave the United States I seem to lose weight and every time I return to the United States I gain weight. I have identified several factors that have affected me personally. First, is the large amounts and low quality of foods that we consume here. We have to stop eating fast food and junk food or we are never going to get a hold of the obesity problem. Second is the sedentary lifestyles we have. Without a question we need to move our bodies more. Third is the relatively poor healthcare system we have. We have good facilities, good doctors, hospitals, medications, etc., but it is expensive and inaccessible to many, and fourth, the stress. We live in a very stressful country where they have sold us the idea that we should be working, working, working all the time and we get excited when we get two weeks vacation per year. We are stressed out, fatigued, and addicted to junk food.
American food is terrible. Americans visiting Europe end up losing weight because they walk more over there and the food is healthier

And we’re supposed to believe the problem lies with physiology?
Yeah, this episode just said being obese is something u can't control, they didn't tell the bitter raw hard truth
Yeah, all this guy said was complete BS😂
In 1980, people probably didn’t sit around and watch TH-cam. This is especially true for children, who make up a large portion of that increased percentage. Kids played outside and learned to be active. They didn’t have to have their parents helicopter over them the whole time either. It was normal to see groups of kids riding bikes together or playing games. Now with the 24-hour new cycle, everyone is paranoid that the streets are infested with perverts and child predators. These days, if you let your kids walk to the park by themselves, you are a bad parent. Better to let them play video games inside where it’s “safe”.
in 2022, if you want start a real fight, just say people are fat because they eat too much calories…it way much more dangerous than politics or religion…lost some friends ( the worst are the mother of fat kid, they cannot accept that fact without going bananas, like you judge theirs kids) The business succedd to paint who say that physics thruths as judmental
I’m 6’7” - 260lbs (200cm - 18.5 stone) and considered obese by the BMI while everyone in my life says I’m too skinny. 🤷♂️ Maybe the definition is skewed ignoring the increasing height of people?
That's a very convoluted way of saying "if you want to lose fat, you need to eat less".
I still find it fascinating that a hormone can reek so much havoc. I just turned 32 and little over 3 months ago I was diagnosed as a late onset type 1 diabetic. I’ve always been in good shape, played sports since I was 5 and I workout constantly. I went from 230 to 160lbs in just a few months . I never been sick or went to the hospital other then for a couple broken bones. I thought whatever was going on would pass but it didn’t. I finally schedule a appointment went to the doctors and they ran test. Said they would call me in a couple days and get me back within a week or two. 2 days later on a Monday morning at 815 the doctors called and demanded I come In now. When I got there doctor looked at me and said “ you’re not well” for starters your body is going heywire my cholesterol was 1600 “normal is 150” I have a thyroid condition, I’m going into organ failure and I’m what they call a late onset type 1 diabetic. I had an A1c of 17+ and blood glucose of 600. My point of the story is don’t be like me and most men who thinks whatever is going on with u will pass and fight thru it. Listen to your body. I didn’t and it almost cost me my life.

I remember working security with this guy who was about 430. He was dispatch and would drink a 2liter coke, eat lunch and snacks throughout the shift. He got a crush on a co-worker and she worked out with and coached him through it. Dude is now 180 and stuck in the friend zone but damn what a journey. He said for lunch he would go to White Castle and get a 10pc Moz sticks. 4 burgers,fries and drink. When he started counting calories he had no idea that one meal was almost his daily intake. The 10pc alone was over 1000 calories. I need to step up myself I'm close to 300 now. I should probably give him a call.
@Rhaegar Nope, she became a police officer so she's getting banged out by other officers and he is still her best friend. He's most likely going to sit idly by until she is ready to settle down.
Sounds more like you should give _her_ a call
That’s another thing people don’t understand. The amount of food that people actually consume in a caloric sense is so much higher than they think. When you go to McDonalds one burger is or above 1000 calories. Then you eat a second and fries and a coke. That shit adds up. Lastly when you eat healthier you feel better. I used to feel sluggish after I ate. I was constantly napping after meals. Not anymore. Also don’t eat past like 7:30 - 8 if you can.

Intermittent fasting, eating mainly protein and vegetables, and working out 2-4 times a week will get you in good shape. Also avoid sugar, fast food and processed foods.
I've been looking into intermittent fasting... wouldn't the healthy diet of protein/veg, no processed food work on its own? I don't understand the reasoning for doing it although I'm very interested.
When u fast your insulin level goes down and yur body uses the stored fat.
@@caliv0608 It could work, but way faster with the hormonal effects of intermittent fasting. HGH and insulin sensitivity especially. I do wonder if eating frequently is fine as long as your lover never really fills up, which if I'm right means not much insulin would be needed.
Basically don't eat a big handful of nuts late at night (healthy, but calories so your liver will never empty) and skip breakfast or have it late/early lunch, and you'll be rocking.
Never was a fan of intermittent fasting unless it fits your lifestyle and you like to do that. I could be wrong though.
I think calorie deficit with 4-6 small meals a day could be more beneficial, and you'll probably feel better throughout the day.
But if 1 big meal a day fits your life, then fasting is probably the best thing to do.
@@LucianoOGgt I just don't think it's natural to eat so many times every day. Do hunters/ people long ago eat 6 small meals? 2 or 3, and once a week 0 might be ideal.
I think our bodies aren't set up for food so frequently and never go into autophagy without breaks. The benefits of autophagy are undeniable imo.
Dropped 25 lbs in a couple months through diet and exercise, BMI dropped 3.7 and I look shredded. Easy if you have a routine and hold yourself accountable

its not always the case, but hes a good interviewer no doubt of that
He talked over a lot of guest, usually he gets distracted by others in the studio. Notice when he shuts up it’s because Bravonand others aren’t there. Get the wrong person in the room interviews like this never go well.

I used to be 250lbs it took me a year but i managed to bring it down to 145lbs. Ive kept it off for about 10 years.
It looks like joe talking to a healthier version of joe
Its more like Joe talking to a skinnier version of him
Yea joe ripped af
Healthier?
It’s more like the version of joe that went through rehab, and had 4 kids

@@kingturtlejeff he went to rehab?
Joe Rogan is such a great listener! I like how he let's his guest speak without interrupting them. Great video!
There are a few videos where he does interrupt them but his more recent ones have been about just listening and I admire the growth.
He is just picturing the guests naked..
Not when a guest is trash talking the weed
Just dont bring up something he is dead set on. Like weed and testosterone.
@Joshua Sipple You should watch his video where he talks about the art of conversations. And how we lost it. Even guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson suck at it.
THANK YOU for explaining this! I wish people knew what a struggle it really is and that its not always as simple as eat less. I have PCOS and Ive tried everything. Even doctors have no knowledge in this so it’s really hard to know who to turn to for help.
I have pcos and lost 110lb. Get ur insulin under control, lower carb intake and get moving
No one ever said it would be easy. I'm 48 years old and my metabolism crashed around age 42. But when you've got people losing weight on Twinkie diets and not doing any exercise it's kinda hard to argue that you need all the technical terminology that this guy discussed. Heck, there's a guy who lost weight doing nothing but drinking beer and popping multivitamins. Interestingly, some of his other "numbers" (cholesterol, blood pressure) also improved!
.
Too, we know there weren't any fat prisoners in Auschwitz. Going to have to explain that one .... and if you haven't tried that, then no, I'm sorry, you haven't tried "everything." You've tried some things. All diets are just tricks to get you to consume fewer calories. Every. Single. One. Keto, Paleo, Juice-diet, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Fasting, etc. It doesn't matter. If you boil every one of those down to their basic premise, it comes down to this: "Consume fewer calories." But if the trick doesn't work and you fall off the wagon, then of course you won't lose weight.
Bottom line: Go on a 1,200 calorie per day diet for a month and then check your results.
@@sidwhiting665 you’re right, I should starve myself when I have three kids to take care of. Fun fact: i did that in the past and developed an eating disorder so, no its not sustainable or realistic to just “eat 1200 calories”. I want to be healthy and it has to be a lifestyle change I can sustain while taking care of my three children. They are all girls and i would never want them to see their mom with an eating disorder.
Weight problems are complicated and chronic. Theres a psychological aspect to it you have to consider as well.
@@Nachoprobl3m2 I’m in the process of getting my insulin under control as well as my cortisol.
@@sidwhiting665 and educate yourself on PCOS before you open your mouth.
Stress effects so much. I didn’t change my diet just my job and lost 40 pounds in a month over covid. I had a high stress job where I was in constant fear mode. I didn’t change my eating and dropped weight so fast it was crazy.
May 2nd I was 327 pounds. A little over 4 months later I am 256 and plan on being able to join the army in another 3 months
You go glen coco!!!
Whatre doing for workouts/eating, bro?
I’m 6’4 and at 305 right now and trying to accomplish the same goal
Just started my first week of hard intermittent fasting and keto diet with 8 hour food window , and doing a lot of H I I T workout 3 days weekly and lots of yoga and calisthenics and so far I haven’t felt more sore or more better in a long time
Sedimentary lifestyle, inconsistent diet and exercise schedule, letting stress control job
All caused me to balloon
Fasting and exercise immediately can re train your mind and rekindle your spirit quickly if you can get over that first 20 to 24 hour hump of the first fast
Great job!
Been 3 months. Make it?
Who isnt overwhieght, but is still watching this?

Joe Rogan is such a good listener. Great interviews
It's not scientifically possible to not lose weight if you are in a calorie deficit.
exactly
I've never seen Joe Rogan as concentrated, he barely spoke in the video.
Very interesting podcast
@@_itzriazpvp9869 yo felt the same way, espcially since english isn t my first language but I bet Rogan was quiet cuz of the same thing lmao
@Random X that's true xD he's got a lot of 'em
@Random X will do when I go back to the gym. Thanks for the recommendation. I got a headstart with Neil Degrasse podcasts xD
@Random X৷ You missed out Edward snowden's podcast
When the pandemic hit, I was three years into a stable job and had gained 25 pounds since I started. Lost all my abs and got a big gut. Since then, the only thing I've stopped eating was fast food. Started working out more, already lost all the weight. You can do anything you put your mind too.
@Paul Smith Maybe when you're young and your metabolism is still quick. I remember being in high school and saying the same stuff you just did. Once your metabolism changes that fast food won't come out the same as it did before. And if you still got that quick metabolism, good on ya but I'm 100% sure all that fatty grease is still coating the inside of your arteries.
@Paul Smith Everything in moderation my friend. A little here and there goes a long way
I used to be the high school student that would eat anything, i weighed around 145pounds, now i weigh 160, it’s not much but i fan clearly see it went to my guts so i completely understand your point.
Luckily i took action early on because it makes things much easier
Let's not forget the huge psychological factor here. When people have overwhelming emotional pain, one thing that some people turn to is overeating to numb the psychic pain. The food tastes good and gives the person a pleasurable high because it gets the dopamine surging in their brains, and this dopamine release is of a similar intensity to the effects of cocaine use on the brain. In this way, certain people become addicted to food and no meal is ever enough to satiate their powerful and incessant cravings. Obesity is a consequence of this chronic emotional overeating of unhealthy food.
I lost 11 kg in 7 weeks. All it takes is discipline, no magic 😊
I lost 5kg in 4 months. Good job 👏
I knew one personal trainer who had one non-negotiable rule. He was asking his clients if they were willing to change their eating habits by eating cleaner and healthier and in the beginning, even go with stricter diet. If they weren’t willing to change their diet, he wasn’t accepting those customers, even if they wanted to pay a lot of money. He knew how important of a role the food played in achieving results.
That's actually a good business move on his part as well. Those clients that were willing to change their diet on average lost so much more weight compared to their counter parts that weren't willing.
That made him look like a more competent trainer & made him more attractive to new clients. The long game at it's finest.
I mean,I understand.
Yeah cool, but how can he know what they're eating everyday ?
@@cmmats624 They tell him? How else would he know?
Thank you. This clown Rogan interviewed is a moron. Anything short of a complete lifestyle overhaul will fail.
